Mum Guilt and is painting a job?!
Every mother knows this feeling. Your needs don't always match up to your little one's needs and there is a push/pull. At the beginning you kind of have to get out of bed and feed the baby (how dare they be hungry when you're desperately trying to get just one hour shut-eye?!) and look after them the rest of the time. If you're a completely deranged control freak like me (and there are no local grandparents to detach you from your new family member) you think you should be with them all the time until you go completely mad. I don't recommend this.
N.B. This is the daycare (how fun! so much stuff! nature!) not my backyard.
My point is that we've put Salvador in daycare and I've been transitioning to this new reality, just like he has. He actually really likes it. I only rang up 12 times on the first day. It's gone down a bit since then.
He's only in two days a week, but from next week it will be three. Is this fair? Is painting a real job? Does it warrant incarcerating my child? *slight hysteria rising in voice* Well, clients are paying me to paint so it's a freelance job that's earning us an income. What about when I'm painting for an exhibition? What about when I take a break? Am I allowed to take breaks?
Most of us have to work and that usually means their children have to be looked after by others. It just feels so weird to be entirely freelance so no boss, no hours to keep to, at home, but without Salvador. I think the weird part is that painting doesn't feel like a job. It's a part of me I need to feed to calm me down and make me (relatively, ah-hem) normal. If I didn't like my job, would that validate daycare somehow?
What do you think? To daycare or not to daycare. To follow your passion and build an art career or to smother your little one in kisses all day (which let's face it, is a pretty good way to spend your time). These are my questions...

I’m Helena Leon from Texas, My husband and I have been married for over 10 years. We met when I was 22 and he was 24. We’ve been through alot emotionally together. There were several HUGE fights and painful situations in our marriage, but we always seemed to come out stronger on the other side. Out of the blue my husband sprung a divorce talk on me, I was blind-sided! I didn’t see it coming, I didn’t recognize the signs. I was totally depressed until I found Dr ISIKOLO the spell caster from Africa everyone was talking about online and I contacted him for a Love spell. During our conversation, he assured me he was going to bring my husband back in less than 48 hours of his spell casting. To me it seemed impossible. You won’t believe my husband called immediately after 48 hours begging for me to forget whatever he said about the divorce after DR ISIKOLO did the restoration spell that restored the love and emotional connection between us. He is wonderful and his spells work so fast. Now my husband loves me way more than before. You could also reach out to him if you are having problems with your marriage or relationship.
